Coming of age entails big change for everybody, brining as it does personal responsibility for their actions and for their future. For me as Crown Princess it entails sharing the King's duties to a greater extent andd helping the King an Queen in the important work they are performing on behalf of the country.
I would like to thank my parents for all the support they are givning me in every aspect of my life. This is of great importance to me and will help me to assume with confidence the responsibilities and obligations I have as heir to the Swedish throne.
I will always be loyal to King and Parliament, and I will closely observe the Constitution of Sweden.
Daddy dear - last I should like to express my gratitude for the Order of the Seraphim which I received today. It means a lot to me and will serve as a reminder of my duties towards the King and our country.

The speech recevied a long and warm round of applause. The King and Queen looked especially porud. The King gave Victoria a friendly pat on the arms as a sign of his appreciation.

The queen does look quite proud
But sorry, Madeleine´s dress looks like a curtain somehow...

Today I´ve seen in the chit-chat-forum your fanart-work. And I have to say, that that is really great and fantastic(the one in that thread too) . Do you work with art, or do you want to do?
